From SCRAN, the Scottish Cultural Resources Access Network (www.scran.org.uk)

Scranalogue - the Scran Blog

Scranalogue (https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/glowblogs/scranblog/) is the new home for rolling news, features, updates on Scran collections, learning and teaching materials and insights into our outreach activities.

September - this month find out about:
  • The Ian Landles Archive, an oral history collection from Scottish Borders Council Archive Service, featuring fantastic material about the First World War, the old Borders railway and the suffragettes. 
  • Scran's work with Skills for the Future trainees on The Scotsman Collections, a rich seam of social history on Scran.
  • New Pathfinders about Scotland's historic properties in English and Gaelic, developed in partnership with Historic Scotland.
